Americans may not want to hear Tucker Carlson’s honest realization about Moscow

Tucker Carlson has not just come under fire for his recent interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin but for his praise of Moscow at the recent World Government Summit.

“What was radicalizing, very shocking, very disturbing for me was the city of Moscow,” Carlson told the audience, adding, “It was so much nicer than any city in my country.”

“It is so much cleaner, and safer, and prettier, aesthetically — it’s architecture, it’s food, it’s service — than any city in the United States,” Carlson continued.

Critics are calling Carlson “anti-American” for his comments, but Dave Rubin believes that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

“There are other places on this planet that are not having the problems that we are having,” Dave Rubin says, adding, “and many of our problems seem to be self-inflicted.”

Those problems, Rubin notes, are easily identifiable.

“We can also point out the reasons that our cities have crumbled: Democrat leadership, progressive policies, the World Economic Forum, George Soros, not actually upholding laws, allowing criminals to ransack streets and stores and things of that nature,” he says.

Carlson’s comments aren’t anti-American, they are exactly the opposite of that. Rather, they’re an observation of where America is failing and where it can be better.

Instead of pretending America is the greatest country in the world to live in, Rubin believes it’s time “we reverse that constant culture decline that we are in” by looking at our issues and trying to actually fix them.

“They have done something right,” Rubin adds, “that doesn’t mean you’re bowing to Putin.”
